Revolutions, it is commonly believed. never go
backward. But how about evolution? Can it
ever be downward instead OF upward This ques-
ton is suggested by bit Of highly interesting news
which comes from Brazil by way OF Panama Ii
is that Oh farm where hemp is raised seven large
monkeys have been taught to handle this product
of the soil with surprisingly good results. They
not only work more rapidly than negroes, but they
cat less. Tic discovery that monkeys can do work
that heretofore men alone have been deemed COM
petent for has important BEARINGS in various
directions. 1t certainly is OF interest to scientists,
who no doubt Will grayely discuss whether the
monkey Is gradually ascending to the plane Of man
or man DESCENDING to the level Of the monkey Then
who cal tell what influence may be exeIted by
this Brazilian experiment upon the problem OF
labor? II monkeys can pull hemp, why can they
not carry holds and drive street cars? Indeed can
any limit be set TO the potentalities that are IN
them? One thing is certain; if the employment
of these creatures becomes general strikes must go
out Of fashion. Unlcss-horrible thought some
misguided human instills nineteenth century civil
ia d ideas into their craniums and organizes The
Monkey Assembly of Knights Of Labor.

81 Knew He was Gentleman, by a Re-
mark He Made"
NRw YORK, April 10th.-[Special THE
Herclds Washington special says: During
the recent Senatorial contest in California
Senator Beck, of Kentucky, addressed a
letter to Judge Wallace, leading Demo-
crat of San Francisco, inquiring as to the
probabilities of Hearts succeeding Will
Jams. Beck added: Hearst, during his
brief term in the Senate, had made num-
ber of friends among his Democratic asso-
ciates. He was a man of good practical
common sense, and ought to be returned
for the full term.n
The letter found its way into the San
Francisco papers, and as Beck was very
popular among the Pacific coast Democrats,
il no doubt did Hearst considerable good.
Yesterday Beck, stopping to converse with
Stewart (of Nevada) a moment. was pre-
sented by the latter to a gentleman who ac-
companied him, Frank G. Newlands, of
California.
I" You did some good work for Hearst, u
remarked Newlands to the Kentucky
Senator.
Did II" responded Beck. "Well, I'm
glad of it. l think Hearst is worth more
in the Senate than all the crowd that was
running against him.
While the Kentuckian was speaking,
Stewart was seen to wink several times
Significantly in Becks direction, but the
latter failed to take the hint.
q" Do you know" said Newlands, stiffly,
THAT | was one of that crowd, sir2"
Were your remarked the Kentucky
Senator, drawing himself up to his full
hight Well, sir, did not know it when
spoke, but wish to reaffiTm what l have
said. think Hearst not only better than
the crowd that opposed him, but think
him a d--d sight better y And then,
lifting his hat politely, the brawny Ken
tuckian marched calmly down the street.

AFFLICTED TEXAS.
The Lone Star state Suffering from lack
of Rain.

The Lone Star State Suffering from Lacb
of Rain.
GALVESTON, April 10th.-The past week
has been one of expectancy and disap-
pointment to the people of Texas, no rains
of any consequence having fallen through
out the immense area now suffering from
drought. Dispatches and letters to the
newspapers of the State continue to detail
the widespread and threatening character
of the drought, the severity of which has
perceptibly increased since the last report.
The drought now extends from the far
western grazing lands, across the State for
a distance of 500 miles into the pine re-
gions bordering on Louisiana, but de-
creases in severity as it approaches the
pine, from which section complaints
are of recent date. The general rains,
which usually set in at the full of
the moon, are wanting, and the cool
dry winds of the past fortnight continue
to prevail, except in the district immedi-
ately west and southwest of San Antonio,
embracing Medina, Banderia, Utalde, Frio
and Atascoa counties, where moderate
rains fell yesterday, but not enough, say
the dispatches from that vicinity. This
one of the grazing sections of the Stat
where stock was dying between San An
tonic and the coast, embracing such fertile
counties as Guadalupe, Gonzales, Lavaca,
Colorado, Caldwell, Bastrap and a dozen
others.
The drought has assumed serious as
pect, putting an embargo upon all agricult-
ural development. especially cotton, the
chief product of this section. One CORE
spondent describes the roadways through
out that belt as covered to a depth of sew
eral inches with dust, and fields are barren
even of weeds, while strings of cattle, al
most too poor to stand up, are travelling
constantly in search of grass and water.
In Central Texas. embracing about thirty
counties surrounding Waco, Corsicana and
Burnet, the situation is scarcely less prom
Using, all reports agreeing that nothing but
very early and plentiful rains will avert
serious damage or failure Of crops.

TIE EAsTfTN QUESTION.
Russia Waiting for Pretext to Move on
Afghanistan.

Afghanistan.
LONDON, April 10th.-The negotiations
between England and Russia for the delin-
cation of the Russo-Afghan frontier have
been opened at st. Petersburg. 1t is not
believed in diplomatic circles that the
deadlock will be broken. Russia refuses to
give way, and threatens to occupy by force
what she claims. She has further declared
that the Afghan frontier on the Kusnk
starts from Rhoja Saleh. The question at
issue is whether Rhoja Saleh meant simply
and solely the ferry village or the district
adjacent which has been under Afghan
control. Russia wants 10 annex the dis
trict, dispossessing the Afghans, and pro-
poses placing her Cossack frontier guards
so close to the ferry that the ferry itself
would be practically in their hands.
This claim England strenuously resists,
and although the strategical advantages of
the contested district are not overwhelm-
ingly great, still England has to consider
the political effect which such surrender
would have upon the native population.
The Afghans cannot resist Russian adj
vance. There is a powerful MONAGHAN
population close by, alleged to be ready to
| throw of allegiance to the Ameer and side
with Russia.
All Russia wants is a slight pretext for
entering Afghan territory, and she will
probably do so, Commission or no Com
mission. A rebellion in Afghanistan will
soon afford her an excuse, and the Afghan
question will sink the Balkan question
into apparent oblivion, especially if the
coercion bill should pass through the Brit
ish Parliament

A BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
Uncle Sam to Arbitrate Between Nj
raeua and Costa Rica.

Uncle Sam to Arbitrate Between Mica
ragua and Costa Rica.
WASHINGTON, April 10th.-[Special. J.
There has been dispute for some time be-
tween Nicaragua and Costa Rica over the
boundary Ieae between the two countries.
As no adjustment of their respective pre-
tensions TO territorial and jurisdictional
participation in the control of the transit
of ships via Lake Nicaragua is possible
without precise and permanent demark-
alton of the border line between them, as
well as clear definition of their several or
common riparian rights in the river San
Juan, the Government of the United States
lately (yet early in the dispute) intimated
to both parties the satisfaction it would feel
in seeing a settlement reached, and the
willingness with which it would lend
its aid toward that result if re-
quested by both parties to do so.
Secretary of State Bayard was asked
yesterday if any action upon this matter
has yet been taken by the United States,
and from the Secretarys reply the follow
ing facts appear: The President of the
United States will arbitrate the boundary
dispute between our sister Republics. Mica
ragua and Costa Rica. a meeting " on the
spot " has been arranged, and our Minis
Ter to Central America has been directed
to attend the conference for the purpose Of
making an examination in order that he
may obtain q minute and thorough knowl
edge and report all the facts bearing upon
the case. The allegations and documents
presented by the two Governments will
then be examined thoroughly by the De-
partment of State and the case will be laid
before the President for decision.

LONDON, April 1Oth.-A Vienna COrre-

rent to the effect that another attempt to

road, st. Petersburg, last Wednesday. A

were carrying bombs under their plaids.
PARTICULARS OF THE AFFAIR.
LONDON, April 10th.-A dispatch from
St. Petersburg to the Daily NelCs SAYS The
most alarming reports respecting the Car
have been in circulation here. One rumor
was to the effect that mine had been dis
covered under the Imperial Palace at
Gatschina, but it is learned, on the best au-
thority, that this report is untrue; also
that no arrests have been made at Gatschina,
as was reported
On Wednesday, however, when the Car
was driving to Gatschina station, a man
and woman were seized at the corner Of
Nevski Prospect and Great Morskaia streets.
ten minutes before the Cars carriage
passed. Another person tried to present a
petition as the Gar passed, but was ar
rested before he could reach the carriage.
1t has not been ascertained positively
whether or not the persons arrested had
any criminal intentions. The Car was in
perfect health and excellent spirits.
Vienna and Berlin kilograms confirm the
foregoing, and state that the culprits stood
upon the steps on an uninhsbited house,
and carried bombs under their plaid shawls.
1t is supposed that the petitioner was an
accomplice, and that the other two did not
know the latter had been arrested The
Gar knew nothing of the arrests. He sat
beside the Czarina and kept bowling to the
populace. They were returning to Cats
china from the Winter Palace, where they
had been receiving japanese Prince.

WASHINGTON, April 10th.-[Special.l J.
The Presidents selection of members of
the Commission to investigate the accounts
of the Union and Central Pacific Railroads
seems to give general satisfaction. Neither
Anderson nor Littler are especially familiar
with railroad accounts, but Pattison, while
Governor of Pennsylvania, made study
of the relations of the Pennsylvania Ce l.
trail Railroad to the Keystone State. Gov
ernor Stanford, before leaving Washington,
said that the companies did not fear an in

to any Government Commission to exam

of Lives Lost.
SANTA CRUZ, April 10th.-The bark ]. w.
Beaver, loaded with hay and salt and sup
posed to be bound for the Sandwich Islands,
foundered on the rocks near New Years s
Point, about twenty miles north of this
place. at o'clock this morning. The ves-
sci had lost her rudder, and was driven
helplessly by the wind and waves against
the coast. Two men succeeded in reaching
the shore, although narrowly escaping
drowning. The remainder of the crew
took to the rigging. People from the sur
rounding country gathered, but, from latest
reports, have been unable to do anything
towards rescuing the crew. Five men
were seen in the rigging. One side of the
vessel is stove in, and total wreck is
probable, as the wind and sea are very vio-
lent.
FOUR LIVES LOST.
